I forget that he was so known overseas (coz his show isn't even really on TV in Australia!), it's been all over the news the last week though. It certainly is a shame...
And on Friday one of our other Australian "icons" died, Peter Brock who is like our most famous racing driver died in a car crash! I grew up watching him race in Bathurst 1000 every year when I was kid and idolized him, and he was a great guy too and a real ambassador for road safety and ran programs to make the roads safer and everything, always involved in charities...
Not a safe week to be an Australian icon! They did both die doing what they loved and what they were famous for though - Steve filming a wildlife stunt thing, and Brocky racing...
